Their complaints flow on Reddit forums, on video game message boards, on private Facebook pages and across Twitter. They argue for everything from male separatism to an end to gender diversity efforts.
Silicon Valley has for years accommodated a fringe element of men who say women are ruining the tech world.
Now, as the nation's technology capital — long identified as one of the more hostile work environments for women — reels from a series of high-profile sexual harassment and discrimination scandals, these conversations are gaining broader traction.
It goes on to mention the recent case with James Damore being fired from Google.”It's a witch hunt," he (James Altizer, an engineer at the chip maker Nvidia) said in a phone interview, contending men are being fired by ”dangerous" human resources departments. ”I'm sitting in a soundproof booth right now because I'm afraid someone will hear me. When you're discussing gender issues, it's almost religious, the response. It's almost zealotry."
Mr. Damore filed a labor complaint against Google in August and said more than 20 people had reached out about joining together for a class-action suit about systemic discrimination against men. He is represented by Harmeet Dhillon, a local firebrand lawyer.
”It's become fashionable in Silicon Valley for people like James, a white man, to be put into a category of less desirable for promotion and advancement," Ms. Dhillon said. ”Some companies have hiring goals like ‘We'll give you a bonus if you're a hiring manager and you hire 70 percent women to this organization.' That's illegal."
These men are pathetic.One radical fringe that is growing is Mgtow, which stands for Men Going Their Own Way and pronounced MIG-tow. Mgtow aims for total male separatism, including forgoing children, avoiding marriage and limiting involvement with women. Its message boards are brimming with activity from Silicon Valley, Mr. Altizer said.
Cassie Jaye, who lives in Marin and made a documentary about the men's rights movement called ”The Red Pill," said that the tech world and the men's rights community had ”snowballed" together and that the rise in the number of people in Mgtow is new.
On the Mgtow message boards, members discuss work (”Ever work for a woman? Roll up your sleeves and share your horror story"), technology (”The stuff girlfriends and wives can't stand — computers, games, consoles") and dating (mostly best practices to avoid commitment).
